This is the cordless home electrotherapy system that delivers hours of drug-free pain relief without requiring a visit to a doctor. Providing relief of pain associated with arthritis, the device employs Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy, a method of pain relief therapy widely adopted by medical professionals. When the self-adhesive electrode pads of this device are placed on sore spots, they send harmless low-frequency electrical pulses into the tissue that block pain signals passing through nerves to the brain. The system increases blood flow to the area to promote healing and relaxation. According to the American Physical Therapy Association, TENS therapy can be an effective element of pain management for low-intensity discomfort, such as back pain and muscle soreness in the extremities. The tethered controller lets you easily choose from 10 treatment modes with 10 intensity levels. System comes with two 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" electrode pads, two 3" x 5" electrode pads, an adjustable belt that secures the electrodes for back pain relief, and carrying bag. Includes three AAA batteries. 6" L x 2 3/4" W x 1" D. (1 lb.)

I bought this unit for my partner who has a neuromuscular disorder. When her muscles tighten up this tens unit really has helped give her some relief. I started using it just to work on sore muscles from everyday stress. Since she now takes her unit to work, I decided to buy one for myself.

I wouldn't have ordered it if I had known it was not to be used on neck, face, etc. That should be disclosed in catalog ad.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I primarily use the stimulator for my severe back pain & muscle stiffness in my neck. I have been suffering this back pain since 2004 after surgery. This machine help me to endure the discomfort for a long time. I'm glad I purchased your product. Thank You

I have a injury to my rotator cuff/right shoulder. It was so bad driving, reaching, getting dressed was very difficult. This isn't as good as the hospital machine in physical therapy, but it does continue the healing process at home.

He absolutely loves it. He's always wanted a machine like this but you needed a doctors prescription. We'll you don't for this and is just as good.. Take my advice, don't let you older kids turn it on. Lol

During leg therapy a stimulator of some sort was used and when I read the description of this stimulator, I wanted it for my personal usage and it is very effective! I applied it to my grown son recently and he said he never thought such treatment was available for home usage!
